the already compressed image formats leads to very poor compression

to enhance compression efficiency of pictures /

is
chosing the most appropriate graphic
coding format, and convert original picture to a more suitable image
format.<br>

            <h3>COMPRESS PNG, TIFF FILES<br>
            </h3>
            <a name="advantages_of_png_compression"></a>In example, <span
 style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 221);">PNG
(and to a lessen extent compressed TIFF) is extremely
efficient on regular shapes with low noise</span> (geometric shapes,
charts,
simple drawings and computer-generated imagery imagery) so
recompressing a raw BMP or
uncompressed TIFF file to PNG format can really improve disk occupation
- moreover, being PNG compression lossless, no actual picture's data is
lost in the transformation.<br>
            <br>
            <h3>COMPRESS JPEG FILES<br>
            </h3>
            <a name="advantages_of_jpeg_format"></a>On the other side, <span
 style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 221);">JPEG
is more efficient on photographic images, even
with average or high noise</span>, so it should be chose over BMP,
compressed
or uncompressed TIFF, and PNG when saving actual photo or scans
rather than CGI graphic; it is consequently a popular choice for
consumer / prosumer digital photograpy.<br>
            <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 221);">Lossy
JPEG compression, however, degrades the quality of the picture
data at each iteration</span>, so for better results it is recommended
to keep
original data, edit it using lossless formats (PNG, TIFF, or specific
photoediting file formats) for intermediate steps, and only apply lossy
JPEG compression when finalizing the work - keeping in account the
platform the graphic is meant to be used for.<br>
            <br>
            <h3>COMPRESS BMP, RAW FILES<br>
            </h3>
Uncompressed graphic files formats (i.e. RAW images, BMP files,
uncompressed TIFF) usually compresses well with traditional general
purpose compression (ZIP, 7Z...), but in this case is often
preferable to evaluate if it is needed to keep the original, large,
uncompressed
files, or rather convert them to a lossless picture format (usually PNG
or TIFF) that does not modify the original file information but stores
it in a smaller file, ready to use/view without requiring extraction.<br>
            <br>
            <a name="chose_best_image_format"></a>PeaZip features a
simple set
of <a href="#modify_jpg_png_tif_file">image
editing tools</a>, with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Transform </span>dialog
providing the needed functions to convert any readable
picture format to BMP, PNG, or JPEG.<br>
If JPEG format is chosen, lossy JPG
compression quality can be set in a range from 0 to 100: lower quality
means more efficient picture compression and smaller output pictures,
but the increase of JPG compression artifacts will degrade the quality
of
the image; higher JPG quality value will result in better pictures, but
saved to larger output files.<br>

            <br>
            <a name="reduce_image_occupation"></a>Another critical
factor for optimizing graphic files disk occupation is
picture size, i.e. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 221);">reducing
the original picture size to 50% reduces the
output to the 25% of the original file size</span>, sparing 75% of
space.<br>

to a smaller size (featured in PeaZip graphic files' Transform dialog)
is a lossy operation: the removed information is lost
and expanding back the image to a larger size will not add back the
original information, so resizing the graphic should be done in the
final step, accurately chosen for the intended platform.<br>
If the smaller size is acceptable for the intended use, reducing
picture size is a very effective mean to decrease file size.<br>

portion of the graphic.<br>

PeaZip's file
manager provides
an integrated image viewer,
showing picture's thumbnails in various pre-set sizes and styles,
ranging from 16 px extra small to 192 extra large thumbnails, and a set
of <a href="#modify_jpg_png_tif_file">graphic
editing tools</a> to
manage and organize images albums / collections.<br>
Thumbnails are shown while browsing the filesystem, not when browsing
archives - this would require decompressing them first (at least
in-memory) but for better security no automatic extraction action takes
place in PeaZip - anyway archived files (of any kind) can be previewed
with double-click. Preview extracts data to a temporary work folder,
which is deleted when PeaZip is closed. <br>
            <br>
Supported graphic formats are <span style="font-weight: bold;">BMP</span>,
            <span style="font-weight: bold;">PNG</span>, <span
 style="font-weight: bold;">GIF</span>, <span
 style="font-weight: bold;">TIFF</span>, XPM, PBM, PGM, icons (<span
 style="font-weight: bold;">ICO</span>, ICNS, CUR), and <span
 style="font-weight: bold;">JPG</span> (.jpeg, .jpe, .jif, .jfi).<br>
            <br>
Most common thumbnail viewer presets are shown in the application's
status bar: no thumbnails details view on the left, medium icons (48 px
thumbnails) list in the center, and large icons (96 px thumbnails) mode
on the right.<br>
            <br>
"Show picture thumbnails" feature is not enabled by default, it can be
toggled on/off from context menu &gt; Navigation, and from main menu
&gt; Organize.<br>
More ways
to set the file manager's integrated image viewer, as shown below, are
